MITCHELL, CITY OF is one of 1,168 community water systems in Oregon in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 138 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 40 entries between 1976 and 2020, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2020.
Of the 40, 36 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves the Total Coliform Rules, synthetic organic chemicals, and the Groundwater Rule.
